bottle @ Chief Market / Lima OH --- Nearly clear dark amber color, smooth ivory 1" head, bands of lace. Aroma of malt and earth. Taste is malt that has a little dry wine mixing in on the swallow. This combination wouldn’t be well-served by any hops, so the "lack of " works as the malt and wine move to a short finish. Interesting enough to try again.

Draught @ Dogfish Head Brewing & Eats, Rehoboth Beach, DE
Pours clear amber with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel, toffee, citrus and grape. Taste is medium sweet and light to medium bitter with a long malty, caramel and fruity finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

On tap at the brewpub. It’s a clear amber colored beer with a small beige head. It’s rather malty on the nose, with pale malts, caramel, bread and a good hoppy touch. Full body and a soft carbonation. Dry. Bread, caramel, pine cones, resins and some citrus peel in the flavor, lasting for a good while. A bit malty for my linings, but sure nice. 150621

Interesting spring and summer beer. Pours a deep ruby red with very little head. Tastes very different from any IPA you've had before. It's been mellowed out and rounded by the grape musts. Refreshing but subtle berry tones with a great IPA. Have it on draft and treat yo'self!
